The Burpee Mile

The Burpee mile was amazing! By far one of my favorite events of this year!

So great, I did not take one picture, Grade A blogger right here. Good thing this girl was there. I also got some pictures from other friends that were at the event! There are so many more pictures, I’ll have to post a little later because I haven’t gotten ahold of them.

Before we started Burping we had a quick Zumba warm up my Teresa! This girl, rocks it. Love her Zumba! (I’m not a zumba fan per say, so when I say that..that is BIG.)

After a quick welcome and booty shakin, it was time to get burpin.

We all followed Neil out on the first lap. Together we burped to one end of the park and back.

Each gym/sponsor had a turn to lead! I even had the opportunity to lead part of it! (pics to come of that action!)

There was a lot of burping and some walking.. I even saw some lunging!

After the event, there were granola bars, bagels, vita waters and a little H2O to refuel with along side of free massages and a free foot analysis by a few sponsors!

There were SO many sponsors at the burpee mile!

Fitmixer was there, serving a bit of this for some pre-workout energy! As a proud ambassador, I was excited to have them there!

There was even a inflatable bounce house for the kids!

After the race, I stuck around to help with clean up and take a few pics with a few friends.

Kym, me and my sister, Heather.

Janetha, me, Kym, Heather and Melissa Post Burp!

GPP sure knows how to throw together an amazing event in only a few weeks! Liz was the captain of this thing, and she was a rock star through the whole thing! I am so lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people. It’s ALL or nothing with us. I love it!

With the help of all the participants and sponsors we were able to raise thousands of dollars for

I am a mother

Becoming a mother was the best day of my life. In July 2010, I became a support, a friend, a mom to two beautiful children. Before I was a mom, I was an avid runner, fitness instructor and health advocate. When I became pregnant I continued my healthy habits and this is my journey back to my pre pregnancy shape.
My children are my inspiration, I strive for better health and strength not only for myself but for them.
A body of a mother is a beautiful thing! So what if you gained weight, or that skin on your belly isn't as tight as before. NO matter the shape, size, or number of stretchmarks! It created something that is irreplaceable and of the upmost beauty.
So, To all your mothers out there, always look at the positive and never forget what you created. You can always bounce back. Heres how I'm doing it. If you need help just follow along :)
